Village Voice
That Sweetwater is so generic doesn't prevent it from being intermittently entertaining.

As violent act begets silly exchange begets another violent act, Sweetwater squanders its noteworthy resources — a cast enjoying themselves (especially Isaacs and Harris), and some effectively brooding outdoor cinematography.

The Old West is portrayed as a venal loony bin in Sweetwater, a handsomely designed, occasionally funny but ultimately empty female vengeance yarn.

The Dissolve
Rare is the Western that’s too low-rent to be satisfyingly lurid, but with hardly any tension or personality to its name, Sweetwater just misses the mark.

Arizona Republic
The characters aren’t the only things painted in broad strokes. Sweetwater is rife with gauche symbolism and imagery.
